Title: ROM provided with a plurality of check sum routes
Inventor: HIJII KAZUYOSHI
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 1996-05-01
Abstract: An internal ROM of a CPU holds a plurality of check start addresses, skip values and storing addresses. An external ROM holds a check sum in each of the storing addresses, where each check sum is calculated for each route determined by each combination of check start address and skip value. To check the external ROM, data from retrieval addresses that are determined by a selected combination of check start address and skip value are read and a check sum is calculated and compared with the check sum stored in the appropriate storing address. If these values tally, the external ROM is judged to be normal. The check sums in the storing addresses may be coded by exclusively OR-ing them with some code data.

Title: Hydraulic brake system for an automotive vehicle
Inventor: NAKAMURA KIYOHARU
IPC: B60T17/18
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: In a hydraulic brake system for an automotive vehicle, brake fluid is normally supplied to the wheel brakes by pump 42 via open cut valves 70, 100 with cut valve 36 closed and the other valves in the condition shown. When the pressure at the wheel brakes 82, 88 is detected to be excessively high, cut valve 70 and inlet valves 78 and 84 are closed and cut valve 96 and outlet valves 90, 92 are opened to exhaust brake fluid to the reservoir 28. After a sufficient time lapse, valves 78 and 84 are opened and, when wheel brake pressure is not greater than master cylinder pressure, valves 90, 92, 96 close and valve 36 opens so that wheel brakes 82, 88 receive brake fluid from the master cylinder. The brake pressure at the rear wheel brakes may be increased to compensate for loss of pressure at the front wheel brakes.

Title: IC engine net torque calculator
Inventor: DIXON JON
IPC: F16H59/14
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: The net torque produced by an ic engine is determined as the difference between the gross torque generated and the internal and external torque losses. Gross torque is estimated 2 in accordance with the amount of fuel injected 6. Internal engine torque losses due to friction are estimated 19 according to engine speed and coolant temperature and external torque losses are estimated 17 depending upon the auxiliary equipment being driven eg air conditioning units. An expected torque loss correction 21 is determined from an adaptive look up table 20 and is dependent upon coolant temperature. The estimated internal and external torque losses and the expected torque loss correction are summed 22,24 and subtracted 26 from the gross torque to produce an estimated net torque signal 1. When no power is being drawn by the gearbox the actual net torque is determined from the engine acceleration and the difference between the actual and estimated net torque is used to update the expected torque loss correction value in the adaptive look up table 20.

Title: Heated air circulation in copiers
Inventor: MUI PAUL K
IPC: G03G15/22
Filed: 1999-02-01
Abstract: Magnesium silicate contamination on the surface of a photoconductor drum (2) results in print defects. In high temperature and high relative humidity conditions, the magnesium silicate absorbs moisture, thereby increasing the conductivity of the magnesium silicate. Charge deposited on the surface of the photoconductor drum (2) by the charge roller (3) can be partially discharged by the conductivity of the magnesium silicate, resulting in low voltage areas on the surface of the photoconductor drum (2). Development of toner (8) onto the low voltage areas of the photoconductor drum (2) results in print defects. Heated air circulation system reduces the severity of the print defects resulting from the magnesium silicate contamination and includes an electric fan (25) and an electric heating element (26). The electric fan (25) generates an airflow directed onto the photoconductor drum. The electric heating element (26) is located within the airflow to heat the airflow. By directing a heated airflow upon the surface of the photoconductor drum (2), the moisture content of the magnesium silicate contaminant is reduced, thereby lowering its conductivity and reducing the severity of the print defect.
